    eating question.
    My RTB has not been the best pick for me since the beginning it has had nothing but problems. Today i tried to feed it again (eaten before then regurges next day twice now) well everytime i have fed it it just strikes and bites its prey but does not coil it holds it in its mouth for like a minute or two then slowly coils. IS this maybe just because its weak or could there be something else wrong with it. Keep in mind its a baby rtb and tiny at that is it that maybe it just need to hone its skills. please someone put my worries to rest. Also whats a good prey item to start off with I fed it a rat pinky (pretty fat too) last time but this time all they had were some mouse fuzzies so i got two i want to see how it handles the first one. Then i will decide if the second is required.

    Well the problems i spoke of wer things like mites and then the dehydration that came with the mites and soo on. The mites are gone now thanks to prevent a mite (great stuff) and she is rehydrated. If i though i needed to i would take her i am a freak when it comes to my animals health. My dog has a little scratch and i will clean it out and take her to the vet lol.

    Using a pair of tongs tug on the mouse just a bit after the snake bites it, this should get your snake thinking the mouse is trying to escape and he should begin to coil.
